"Cool Water" lyrics

"Cool Water"

All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water

Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water

Keep a-movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for me and you

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water

But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for me and you

The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool water

And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water, cool, clear water

Keep a-movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water

Dan can't you see that happy company
Where the water's runnin' free
And they're waiting there for me and you

Cool water
